Romans 12
9 Don’t let love be a mere outward show. Recoil from what is evil, and cling to what is good. 10 Love each other devotedly and with brotherly love; and set examples for each other in showing respect. 11 Don’t be lazy when hard work is needed, but serve the Lord with spiritual fervor. [...]
Today brings our final verses in chapter 5 of Proverbs. This chapter is about staying away from adultery and lust. The strange woman spoken of in the chapter is any woman not your wife. [And, although written to the son by the father, applicable also to woman and men not their husband!]
The strange woman is [...]
Chapter 4 reminds us of the importance of wisdom. It is important that we listen to our father’s instruction in ways of wisdom. it is important that we allow wisdom to help us stay on our path, looking neither right or left to lose our focus.
We are to be intent on our learning. We are [...]
1 Thessalonians 4:14 speaks of those who have “fallen asleep in Jesus”, 4:16 speaks of those who are “dead in Christ”. Verse 14 uses the Greek verb ‘koimao’ in the passive tense.

1Cor. 1:17-31 (NASB)
For Christ did not send me [Paul] to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, that the cross of Christ should not be made void. For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to us who are being saved, it is the power [...]
Romans 8:1-11 [CJB]
Therefore, there is no longer any condemnation awaiting those who are in union with the Messiah Yeshua. Why? Because the Torah [law] of the Spirit, which produces this life in union with Messiah Yeshua, has set me free from the “torah” of sin and death. For what the Torah could not do by [...]
For the exercise enthusiast, their body is a temple. The same is true for the believer - the difference is that our body is God’s Temple. And while studying recently I found something that was exciting to me. I wanted to share it with you. I hope you find it encouraging also.
Here’s what God’s word [...]
We are becoming lazy in our Christianity. We would rather read the regurgitation of the ideas of others than go right to God’s word. That is not to say there are no good references - but don’t be drawn in because of the name or the reputation. Don’t look at everything you [...]
